When [[Jacques Lacan]] founded the ''[[Ècole Reudienne Freudienne de Paris]]'' (EFP) in 1964, after his resignation from the ''[[Société Française de Psychanalyse]]'' (SPP), he chose to call it a '[[school]]' (''école'') for precise reasons.
Not only was it the first time that a psychoanalytic organisation had been called a 'school' rather than an 'association' or a 'society', but the term 'school' also highlighted the fact that the EFP was more a means of psychoanalytic formation centred around a doctrine than an institutional order centred around a group of important people.
